USB device exceeded PWR limits

I have had 2 laptops lately that are T-43P IBM laptops and the error is:
Power surge on Hub Port
USB Device exceeded Power limits of hub port. I open the box and there is no device to reset. I am perplexed. Help! Thanks.

there is nothing connected. As I said before I looked into the devices that may be attached and there is none and the message says to open the box and see what is there then do a refresh. Nothing is connected. I am using the onboard USB if I use anything. I have an external USB hub, but there is no USB device but the keyboard and mouse.

I must be a bit thick:
1. Is there a malfunction or just an error message?
2. Are you using USB KB and mouse on the ports of the T43p?

I am the one that is most likely thick, but it is just the error that keeps popping up and no, I do not have anything plugged in as this is a laptop and I am just using what comes with it. I have not attached anything to it yet.

I had the same error "Power Surge on Hub Port" A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port. I has issues trying to fix error message. Any ways, for some other reason, I removed/cleaned up all of my System Restore Points, rebooted,, and the errors have gone away. I sinced created new restore points. Got me,, again no futher pop ups or errors with the USB hubs. Hum...
